Hagel's nomination for Secretary of Defense should be based on qualifications, not support of Israel (Your views)

The Senate is debating Sen. Chuck Hagel's nomination for
the Secretary of Defense.

I am not aware of any deficiencies in his
qualifications for the position. His only sin is that he does not express an
overenthusiastic backing for Israel.

It is
shameful that the confirmation is not based on the possible
contribution to his country of the United States for which he has taken
the oath of allegiance, but rather on his support of a foreign country.
